THE LATEST ON STRINGS.
The Guitar and Banjo to be Sus-
pended in Select Society by
the Fiddle.

Prof. Ryan in the Globe Democrat
A new musical rage has been start
ed and threatens to drive out the gui-
tar craze which began last spring.
The female viOlirisG is now popular
and will attract attention this winter.
The Banjo, you know, has gone out Of
favor, and it is now the violin. 1t
was started in the east by Teresina
Tua. the beautiful Italian girl who
took Boston by storm. Every must
cal girl in Boston has got the violin
craze, and as the Hub is the citerion
of western music, we are beginning to
feel the wave. Yet, it is said that
Teresina Tua is not the equal, as an
artist of Miss Carrie Duke, the Louis
vile girl, who played here some time.
American girls take very
readily to the violin, as
indeed they do to all musical instru-
ments. What they lack in natural
vocal ability they make up in the me-
chanical part of music. We have
some excellent amateur violinists
among the ladies here. There are
three sisters who often play at church
festivals and private entertainments.
Then Miss Matte Blow is an artistic
who [ dare say will equal Teresina
Tua. She has thorough European
training. Then the Misses Sterling
are very capable artistes on the violin.
There are others who are adopts and
play in private. Now that the in
strument is popular again their skill
will be sought by their friends. This
craze is much more sensible than the
mandolin, banjo and guitar crazes
which have had attention in this
country for four years past, for the
violin is an instrument Of skill.

old, and dressed in ordinary working
clothes, was run over and killed at 8
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, at a point
one mile west of Dresden, on the Mis-
souri, Pacific road. The second section
of train No. 120, Conductor Mosier,
was coming this way, and at the point
named broke in two. The unfortunate
old man had been walking on the
track, and when be saw the train APP
preaching, he stepped off to let it
pass. The first half passed him, and
he, no doubt thinking that was all of
it, stepped on the track again,
and gazed after the cars.
The second part of the
train came up and run him down, ten
cars passing over his body. His head
and chest were horribly crushed and
mangled, and death must have been
instantaneous.
Coroner Overstreet was notified land
this morning went to Dresden and
held an inquest. The jury was COM
posed of John w. Baldwin, D. II.
Elliott, j. G. Douglass, A. Lane, G
H. Baldwin and p. P. McCune. After
hearing the evidence of train men and
others, the jury rendered a verdict
that the unknown man came to his
death by being run over by a train of
cars, and that no one was to blame for
the accident.
There were no papers on the mans
person by which he could be identified
and no one present knew anything
about him. He was buried to-day in
the Dresden cemetery.

it was noticed that the pilot of the en-
CINE was covered with blood. 1t was

mule was hitched to a light wagon
and driven by lady. The mule was
killed, the wagon smashed into a
thousand pieces, and Mr.. Marsh said
he thought the driver was badly hurt
also. The train comes around sharp
curve at the point where the killing
occurred, and it is thought the woman
did not hear the approach of the train
in time to get over the crossing.
